Description
Very traditional fukamushi sencha from one of the old fukamushi producing cities, Kakegawa. Tea leaves are carefully deep steamed to make the flavor mild and aromatic. Also, this fukamushi sencha is naturally grown under the strict specifications of JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) organic program that is equivalent to NOP (National Organic Program) of the US. The result is truly a gift from mother nature.
